What was Cam Newton's advice for Panthers' Bryce Young?
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce young can't help but look up to cam Newton, easily the greatest quarterback in team history. He's 5-foot-10. Newton is 6-5. But Young's respect for Newton goes beyond physical stature. That showed recently on the red carpet at The ESPYs, where the top pick of the 2023 NFL draft was interviewed by the top pick of the 2011 draft -- and later given much appreciated advice. To Young's credit, his confidence wasn't shattered last season when he struggled with a Total QBR that ranked 29th out of 30 qualified quarterbacks. He spent the offseason working closely with Canales, who helped Baker mayfield have a career-best campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season and Geno Smith do the same in 2022 with the Seattle Seahawks.Newton didn't struggle statistically the way Young did as a rookie. He passed for 4,051 yards, breaking Peyton Manning's rookie record (3,739) and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. But Newton felt the frustration of the team's current quarterback in terms of having a losing record (6-10) after being successful at every level before turning pro. Newton overcame consecutive losing seasons (6-10, 7-9) his first two seasons to go 12-4 in his third. He led Carolina to a league-best 15-1 record in his fifth season, en route to being named NFL MVP and earning a trip to Super Bowl 50. Newton, who never needed help becoming more vocal, went through a similar growth process with the Panthers, as they continued to surround him with better players to help his development. Those are things Young has talked to Newton about in the past, not just at The ESPYs.

Two plays that defined Julius Peppers' Hall of Fame career
(#1)... It's Oct. 10, 2004, and the Panthers are at Mile High Stadium for a Week 5 matchup in Denver. The Broncos are ahead, 13-10, with 7:12 left in the third quarter, threatening to extend their lead on third-and-goal from the 3. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan calls a naked bootleg to the right for quarterback Jake Plummer, who seemingly has a clear path to the end zone after Peppers bites on the reverse from the left side.(#2)... Peppers sees Plummer has the ball, sticks his right foot into the ground, accelerates and catches the quarterback in time to shove him out of bounds at the 1-yard line.
Julius Pepper never chased publicity. He never chased the spotlight. He never chased sacks. Funny thing, though. The nine-time Pro Bowl edge rusher, who had more sacks (159.5) than all but three other players in NFL history and played power forward in the Final Four for the University of North Carolina, spent his entire career being chased by the public spotlight. And now that spotlight lands on Peppers once again, as the 44-year-old from Wilson, North Carolina -- who was drafted No. 2 overall by the Carolina Panthers in 2002 and also played for the Chicago bears and green Bay Packers-- will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Drake Maye makes QB debut as Bill Belichick-less Patriots beat Panthers 17-3 in preseason game
Carolina
Carolina also played its first game under a new coach, with Dave Canales making his debut as the franchise’s seventh. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, the top pick of the 2023 draft, didn’t play. Projected backup Andy Dalton was sidelined with a strained quadriceps. Jake Plummer completed 11 of 21 passes for 86 yards for the Panthers, and Mike Boone, one of seven backs currently on the roster, had eight carries for 34 yards.

New England’s new coach, 38-year-old Jerod Mayo became the NFL’s youngest coach when he was hired on Jan. 12, one day after Belichick agreed to depart as coach and left the organization. Drake Maye trotted completed his first attempt, a screen to Antonio Gibson for 13-yard pickup. He was high on his first throw down the field, ending his night 2 for 3 for 19 yards

Two more linemen signed, receiver added
The team signed veteran defensive tackle Walter Palmore and added offensive lineman Jack Anderson after a workout. The Panthers needed help on both sides of the line after rookie defensive lineman Jayden Crumedy left with a high ankle sprain Thursday, and offensive linemen Badara Traore (knee) and Cade Mays (shoulder) left the game as well. Head coach Dave Canales said Mays had an AC sprain and would miss a few weeks. Palmore, 28, has spent time with the Texans, Cowboys, and Seahawks, and spent a week in camp here in 2021. He was most recently with the Michigan Panthers of the UFL. Anderson, 25, has spent time with the Bulls, Eagles, Giants, Colts, and Jaguars. The Texas Tech product has played in 15 career games with three starts. They also brought back wide receiver Tayvion Robinson, who was here earlier in camp. To make room for them on the roster, the team waived a pair of rookies — cornerback Willie Drew and running back Jaden Shirden, and waived-injured wide receiver Deven Thompkins.Click Here For Full Story

Panthers release a kicker, shore up offensive line
The Panthers have made a move in their kicker competition. The club waived rookie kicker Harrison Mevis on Sunday. Rookie tackle Tyler Smith (Western Carolina) was signed via free agency. Mevis was originally signed as an undrafted free agent following April's draft. The Missouri alum was with the Panthers throughout the offseason, in minicamp, OTAs and the first part of training camp. He kicked the sole field goal in Thursday nights preseason game versus the New England Patriots, a 41-yard field successful attempt. By waiving Mevis, the Panthers now have one kicker on the roster, veteran Eddy Pineiro. In his career Piñeiro is 89 percent on field goals, and 91 percent on extra points. Tyler Smith, a native of Laurinburg, North Carolina, attending school at Western Carolina. He was previously with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Panthers return to the practice field on Monday, then a brief respite, before a light practice on Wednesday, then welcoming the New York Jets on Thursday for a joint practice.Click Here For Full Story

Panthers CB Jackson injury 'significant,' could miss six weeks
On a day when the Carolina Panthers intercepted New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice, wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr.had his biggest day of training camp and two fights broke out, the biggest news involved a player who did not participate. Carolina coach Davr Canales said after Thursday's joint practice the hamstring injury suffered by starting cornerback Dane Jackson on Wednesday was "significant" and that he could miss up to six weeks. That leaves the Panthers without one secondary starter and possibly two for the Sept. 8 opener at the New Orleans Saints.Click Here For Full Story

Panthers' Bryce Young, Jets' Aaron Rodgers take different QB paths
Bryce YoungBryce Young was explaining the support he felt from fans during Thursday's joint practice against the New York Jets when a confused look came across the face of the Carolina Panthers quarterback. Young's ability to focus on what's ahead and forget about last season -- or even last week -- to the point he doesn't know the day of the week or month is one reason many believe his horrendous rookie year didn't ruin him. Among those confident Young will bounce back strong is Jets coach Robert Saleh, familiar with the challenges of a quarterback who was a high draft choice. Rookie quarterbacks thrown immediately into the mix usually are on bad teams or don't have a solid veteran ahead of him, or both. There also are salary cap advantages to going with the rookie versus a high-priced veteran. "It's hard to evaluate [Young] just because of some of the stuff that happened in the offseason leading up to training camp that didn't really give Bryce the best opportunity to be ready and prepared for the season,'' one source said.
Aaron Roggers
Rodgers sat behind Hall of Famer Brett Favre for three seasons (2005 to 2007) before making his first start. Rodgers is evidence that having the right pieces around the quarterback is important regardless of when he first starts. He went 6-10 in his fourth season, first as the starter, for a Green Bay team coming off a 13-3 record. He was solid with over 4,000 yards passing, 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He just didn't have the support, from an offensive line that performed miserably to injuries to a rush defense that went from 14th in 2007 to 26th in 2008. But Rodgers didn't lose confidence because of the losing any more than Young did after a 2-14 record with only 11 touchdown passes to 10 interceptions behind a bad offensive line and with receivers who couldn't create separation. Love stepped into a situation at Green Bay in 2021 with Rodgers the starter and the team coming off a 13-3 season. He admitted having patience was hard, particularly after Rodgers signed an extension in 2022.

Codrington's big returns and Seibert's 4 field goals help Jets defeat Panthers 15-12
New York Jets
New York Jets returner brandon Codrington may have been one of the smallest players on the field Saturday night, but it didn't stop him from having the biggest impact. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound undrafted rookie from tiny North Carolina Central returned a kickoff 63 yards and a punt 31 yards to set up scores. Austin Seibert kicked four field goals, including a 52 yarder, and Greg Zuerlein added another for the Jets. Peasley played the entire first half and finished 7 of 11 for 33 yards and was sacked once.
Carolina
Plummer played into the fourth quarter for Carolina and was held to 42 yards on 11-of-18 passing. Carolina running back Dillon Johnson scored on a short run on the final play for the game's only touchdown after the Panthers focused on the running game despite being down by nine.

Panthers to play Bryce Young in preseason finale vs. Bills
Young is coming off a historically bad season for a quarterback, particularly one taken with the No. 1 overall pick. He had only 11 touchdown passes, tied for the fewest in NFL history for any quarterback with at least 500 attempts.
**********
This will be Young's first live action against another team outside of a joint practice against the New York Jets in the new system implemented by first-year head coach Dave Canales.

Buffalo: 1 - 2
The Bills rested all of their starters to avoid risking further injury to an already limping team. Darrynton Evans scored Buffalo’s first touchdown of the preseason with an 18-yard catch,
Frank Gore Jr. had 101 yards rushing including a 5-yard touchdown run.
